"Size 8 was perfect for our small blue heeler 38lbs delicate face and muzzle. He has a habit of biting the leash out of excitement or frustration, so this works great for our walks."

— Rebecca

"I studied the sizing charts and measuring instructions as well as read through comments from previous purchasers. Finally made a selection and still got it wrong - too big! The length is about right but there's a lot of volume below the jaw so my dog could just paw at the muzzle and pull it off."

Bottom Line

The Baskerville Classic Basket Muzzle has serious downsides, particularly with sizing and comfort, which may make it unsuitable for many dogs.
